Thierry Neuville set the 3rd time of SS13, finishing 2?7 behind the Skoda driver's reference time. The Belgian manages his lead which now stands at 13??8 over the Czech and which should be enough to maintain the lead of the race in the last special of the Tour de Corse.

Freddy Loix (Skoda) is no longer really worried. The Belgian is too far from Jan Kopecky to attack him (+ 39??4) and has too much lead over Bryan Bouffier (Peugeot ) to be able to be attacked by the French (+ 23??7).

On the other hand, the Peugeot driver must be wary of Pierre Campana (Peugeot), very impressive on this Tour de Corse. The Bastiais rider is only 2?9 behind Bryan Bouffier and could launch a full attack in the last special.

The start of the SS14 (Sarrola-Plage du Liamone), 26,7 km long, will be given at 20:10 p.m.
